West Yost prepared a Region Acceptance Process (RAP) grant eligibility application and submitted it to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) on behalf of the Westside Region member agencies, which include the Water Resources Association of Yolo County (WRA), Solano County Water Agency, Napa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Lake County Watershed Protection District, and Colusa County Resource Conservation District (RCD).﻿

West Yost provided an update and refinement to the Fresno Metropolitan Water Resources Management Plan (Metro Plan), which includes a key focus on conjunctive use for long-term supply reliability and sustainability.

The Napa County 2050 Integrated Water Resources Plan (IWRP) represents several municipalities seeking to develop sustainable water supply portfolios involving surface, groundwater, and recycled water resources. The Napa County 2050 Water Resources Study combined West Yost staff’s institutional framework skills together with its technical and scientific capabilities to develop a multi-agency plan for long-term water resource management. The project required close coordination with the Water Resources Technical Advisory Committee, and coordination with a number of state and federal agencies.

West Yost was part of the consultant team that helped develop the 2007 Yolo County IRWMP, a multi-jurisdictional planning document. Subsequently, West Yost worked directly for the Water Resources Association (WRA) of Yolo County on 2010 project updates to the 2007 Yolo County IRWMP projects list. West Yost prepared a combined Proposition 50, Round 2, Step 1 grant application for several proponents of projects contained in the Yolo County IRWMP.

West Yost prepared an Integrated Water Resources Plan (IWRP) that linked water supply needs to an integrated evaluation of all aspects of available water resources and conveyance/transmission and treatment facilities, to create a single flexible plan which could be adopted by the Board and implemented by staff.
